There are two viewpoint locations earmarked within the project. One is integral within the bridge structure, and an additional one has been created from the existing WW2 watching platform at the high point on the Ruchill side of the scheme (north east side).

A statement reads: "The existing Stockingfield Junction does not provide a reason to stop and enjoy the space, the derelict land on the Ruchill side is used by locals for dog walking, but also for antisocial behaviours, and the route along the canal towpath is torturous through a dangerous tunnel.

"The new park and three-way bridge create a whole new lease of life for the land and provides new uses and opportunities for its visitors.

"The bridge provides clear and legible routes connecting the core path networks in a logical route and connecting the three local communities currently split by the canal. The new park creates a safe and usable space for locals to visit.

"The seating throughout the space allows people to stop and enjoy the views and spaces or just have a rest along their journey. Public engagement in the design process uncovered the public desire for a larger observation deck.

"The new observation deck creates a positive space for multiple uses, as well as allowing visitors to take in the long view out of the park."
